There was fresh drama for Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) loved ones ahead of his final send-off in the latest instalment of Emmerdale.

With widow Tracy (Amy Walsh) banning Nate's father Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and the extended clan from attending the funeral, the Dingles put on their own memorial at the Woolpack.

While Cain and Tracy suspect each other of killing Nate, they're oblivious that new in-law John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) accidentally caused his death and disposed of his body in the lake.

Medic John was uneasy when his husband, Nate's cousin Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), asked him to speak to Tracy about lifting her ban.

When he reluctantly complied, Tracy refused, though she told John that he was welcome to come to the service alone.

Later, Tracy was stunned to receive a letter telling her she was entitled to Nate's life insurance.

Meanwhile, Cain began drinking steadily at Nate's memorial, but he struggled to honour his son's life.

Caleb Miligan (William Ash) offered his support, and Cain loosened up when Sam Dingle (James Hooton) accidentally spilled his drink on Cain while telling an animated story about Nate.

It was the wrong moment for Nate's mother Cara (Carryl Thomas) to walk in, as she wrongly believed they were laughing in the face of Nate's murder.

Cara let rip at Cain for stinking of booze, as well as his violence towards Nate on his last day alive.

She then shamed Moira (Natalie J Robb) for her past affair with Nate and also rounded on Caleb for breaking up his marriage.

At Tracy's, Sam arrived to explain to Cara that it was his fault Cain reeked of alcohol.

But when Tracy revealed that she was getting a payout from Nate's life insurance, Sam saw this as more proof of Tracy's guilt and rushed back to the pub to update Cain.

Seething, Cain stormed over to see Tracy, informing her that he would be at Nate's funeral the following day, and there was nothing she could do about it.

With police presence at the church unnerving Tracy, and guilty John stepping in to do the eulogy, what will unfold at Nate's funeral?
